Rover 75 Rear Seats
 
Good morning,
I have a 2001 Rover 75 and I would like to replace the rear seats as the leather is badly stained. I have tried everything to clean them but I have not been successful. I have thought about recolouring them but the I think the easiest option would be to replace them. I can buy the rear seats out of a newer 75 which have the separate side bolsters and I would like to know whether they would easily fit into my car?
Thanks for your help.
Regards David Winter

Morning Ronnie,
Thanks for your help.
The rear seat that I am proposing to buy is beige leather. Was there any change in the colour of the piping? and how are the side bolsters held in place.
Regards David

There is a bracket welded to the wheel arch David, & on the bolster is a wire frame thingy, this just pushes into the bracket. If by beige you mean sandstone, I believe there were 2 colours of piping, not sure so don't quote me:o:}
Black piping or sandstone

Also, some seats have single piping round the outside edge, and others have double piping, outer edge and round the situpon bit, like in the photo.:D
